Still, there is one thing that bothers me.
Of few issues that were found (and addressed) during voting there is one
that requires a global change (in std.algorithm). I'm talking about this
comment by Andrei:

About time to remind us of auto ref and how it works then.
The end result is we need to get a version of copy that:
- doesn't break existing code
- takes destination by ref when possible thus fixing this pattern.
